RE: We are hot but still single. Why girls from generation Y have problems tying the knot.
Preface: Marriage is a poor financial investment so I hope they won't get married
My view:
Girls are finally leveraging their biological effect on men to give themselves some power
- by exploiting their femininity rather than a Boudica-like defeminization. Or a Macbeth like "unsex me dear Gods" [not verbatim]Men are just as social media obsessed (and generally egocentric, just tend to be less successful because their social value doesn't come from looks enough to a larger extent than with women.
Agree to some extend but it's not just about getting married or not. It's about being able to commit to a long term relationship. Nobody needs to get married these days but it also feels that a lot of relationships don't even last longer than a couple of months...
Thanks for the comment!
Humans aren't great at intuitively valuing long-term decisions, so why would it be good to commit to a long-term relationship?
It seems to be optimal to be non-commital, if only for the freedom it grants you.
